I live with Carolyn, my best friend and wife of 35+ years, at Chelsea - a seaside suburb
of Melbourne, Australia.  

Our three adult children - Angela, Andrew and Kirsty - are now all married. Angela and Andrew are married to Mathew and Hayley, respectively. At the time of writing, Andrew and Hayley have three beautiful girls and Angela and Mathew's first born, Aimee, is now 19 months old - and absolutely gorgeous!! - whilst Kirsty and Simon are well past their first wedding anniversary. How time flies!

We are quite enjoying the life of 'Darby and Joan' and the freedoms it allows. We're also fortunate that our children all live in Melboune, with two only a few kilometres away. Also "Ginger", our little Jack Russell-Chihuahua cross - a delightful 'people loving' dog - has totally stolen our hearts and helps fill the absence of children at home in a lovely way.

Carolyn and I are committed Christians and active members of the Anglican Church of Australia. My professional training and experience is in Purchasing & Supply Management, including consulting, contracting and lecturing in the discipline.  My interests include church commitments, computing, family and, much to my surprise, I have been well and truely bitten by the genealogy bug!

In 2002 I fulfilled a life-long ambition of owning a classic English car when we purchased a 1947 Austin 16 sedan. It has opened up another great avenue of interest.
